For deeper faith; that we hear Jesus calling us to come out from our tombs of sin, and be untied from our bondage of fear, to live a new life with him, in freedom and peace; we pray to the Lord.
For all to answer the vocational call for which we were baptized: to the priesthood, diaconate, religious life, holy matrimony or blessed singleness, that we live and spread God’s word according to our state in life; we pray to the Lord.
For all nations and people to hear the command of Christ to rise from the darkness of all that destroys life, and put an end to the culture of death; we pray to the Lord.
For Anthony Babin, Felicia Patenaude, Evan Patenaude, and Aidan Finn, who are preparing to receive the sacraments of our faith this Easter; that they hear Jesus calling them to rise to new life on their journey of faith; we pray to the Lord.
For those trapped in tombs of illness, addiction, anger, and pain; and for those who love them; and for Pope Francis; for the miracles of Jesus to give them confidence and courage in His power to heal and give hope to their body and soul; we pray to the Lord.
For all who have gone before us, and for Elaine Normandin, who recently died, and for Mona Fiore, Polly Curran, Bernard Dauphin, Carina Allen-Parkhurst and for the parishioners of Our Lady of the Lake, whom we remember at this Mass; that all will hear Jesus calling and rise to new life; we pray to the Lord.
For all service men and women, and especially those in harm’s way, and for their loved ones; and for the intentions in our Parish Book of Prayers and on our Prayer Line; and for all those prayers deep within our hearts, that are known to God alone; we pray to the Lord.
